Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Hoop Carpool (rebranding to TRIBBU) is a legitimate Spanish startup with approx. €3M in funding and verified B2B traction with clients like Mango and universities. However, the submission provided is extremely low quality, containing false hyperbolic claims ('everyone has used my product') and an incorrect project name ('WhisperRider'). The score reflects the high real-world utility of the actual business, heavily penalized by the lack of credible evidence and professionalism in the submission data.
